Desktop File Access : how to use it ?

[dofre]

Hi !

I've got a problem with the Desktop File Access. I cannot use it like in the flash demo. I run Alfresco on localhost, because I have to make a university presentation about alfresco and I do not have a server.

Does the problem come from the fact that I use Alfresco in localhost ?

Thanks a lot for helping me

fred.

hi,

is webdav and cifs part of community edition or part of enterprise edition. at first i thought it is part of community editoin now i am not sure. bucause i am not able to get to it.

thanks prasanth

WebDAV and CIFS are both part of the community edition, so they should be accessable to you.

Hi,

Are you using the latest 1.2 release ?. are there any errors logged in the Alfresco.log file ?.

I can't reproduce the problem with the latest code.

If you can send me your Alfresco.log file I'll have a look and see if I can spot any problems.

Cheers

Gary

Hi

I've downloaded the tomcat bundle and got it running in a Winxp Home Edition. When i try to map alfresco to a drive, it does not appear in my network places (i've moved the dll to system32 and the server appears as LAPTOP_A when i do an nbtstat -n).

1 - it does not appear in my network places
2 - when i try to access it via webdav http://laptop:8080/alfresco/webdav (using a network folder) it prompts the login but once i enter the admin/admin it says that "the folder name i've typed does not seem to be valid. choose another one" (i'm not sure if it is exact cause i have winxp in spanish).

The curious thing is that in IE i can access alfresco via DAV (but not seeing it as a folder).

Also i don't get any errors in alfresco.log

Any hints?

thanks a lot.

Hi,

Could you email your alfresco.log file to me, there may be something in the startup that's causing the problem.

If you do a Start->Run and enter '\\LAPTOP_A' what shares are listed for the Alfresco CIFS server ?.

Cheers

Gary

Hi,

Can you make sure you are running the final relase version 1.2 code as there were some changes to affect this after the last release candidate.

Cheers

Gary
